New here - frozen in should I stay or should I go?

Woundedfool, pardon the hijack apathy, are you describing your experience with different kinds of therapy?

Sort of... I only had direct experience with SBT.

A close family member had an experience with a traditional psychoanalyst (how did you mother treat you, did you feel loved, etc.), a 4 year journey that he felt was a colossal waste of time and money (and after learning about SBT, I tend to agree).

There are different therapies for different people/issues and some times a combination of therapies.

I think it's a jump to brand a whole model based on the unfortunate experience of a relative. And as in all areas of healthcare, there are skilled and not-so-skilled providers of every ilk.

I didn't want to dredge up the past for most of my life and I only got more and more unhappy. Sometimes we have to face our demons. There are SBT practices that have helped me. I've also had great success with yoga and meditation and exercise is also an adjunct.

I don't think there's an argument that whether we were loved or how we were treated as young children doesn't affect us. But, it does affect each of us in a different way and to a different extent.

I'm happy the therapy you were able to choose for you worked well. That's always a good circumstance.

(of course, insurance companies would love it if everything could be solved with SBT)

Thanks or the space, Apathy.
